cubbymark Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Things were so bad for the Cubs the Yankees were able to hit a home run off a 35 mph pitch from 1B Frank Schwindel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Apparently, Joe Maddon got a Mohawk to help break the Angels' losing streak. The players never saw it, though, because he got fired first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/lawsuit-alleges-son-of-peter-angelos-sought-to-wrest-control-of-orioles-from-brother - this is a really good recap of the entire lawsuit) I do like that one of the things Louis is pissed about is that Brady Anderson of all people was fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I believe that Angelos wants to move the team but there are two major things holding them back. The fact that they still have one of the 5 best stadiums in the majors or that the reaction to them moving would make the Colts move in 1984 look like a regular apartment move.

Not getting out of there in the middle of the night this time Maryland just threw a big bag of money at them. They aren't going anywhere unless the family sells the team - which going back to the lawsuit, seems to be part of the issue as it seems that Louis (not in charge brother) and Gloria (the sister) seem to want to sell. John (brother in charge) and the Mom (whose name I am spacing on) want to keep the team in Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 The Cards Miles Mikolas lost a no hitter with 2 outs in the 9th (and 2 strikes on the hitter) He gave up a hit on his 129th pitch which is the most in the majors this season (For the record - Mikolas says he is in the best shape of his life and that number of pitches doesn't bother him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen thousands of games - never seen that! Unreal. What a perfect storm of stuff - a shattered bat, a broken piece that somehow keeps rotating instead of going forward like they always do, the broken end (instead of the unbroken end) being the one to go toward the ump, AND just the right angle to go through the narrow mask opening. Wow. Glad it wasn't worse cuz that could've been really, really bad for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 The Astros become the first team to have 2 Immaculate Innings in one game. Luis Garcia and Phil Maton each threw one. Quote There have now been 106 recorded immaculate innings in major league history, and Wednesday marked the first time there have been two on the same day. And the Astros managed to twirl them both, moving them into a tie for most by one franchise with the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers (nine each).

Dolfan in NYC Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Get your shocked faces ready... Heyman is reporting that MLB owners are furious at the Oakland situation. The A's ownership apparently pocketed all of their revenue sharing money and are still dragging their feet on the new stadium. Manfred seems to think the deal will get done, but lord almighty, is it more than past time to Montreal them and get them to a new city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that basically goes hand in hand yesterday with Manfred basically saying Tampa and Oakland needed new stadiums or he would consider moving them.

I'm so shocked that ownership would just pocket the money and not spend it. I just cannot fathom an ownership doing that. No way. You're lying to me.
